Project Details
Description
This Human Genetic Analysis Resource will facilitate the
identification and mapping of genes that cause diseases in man.
The Resource will provide services and expertise in human genetic
analysis to research workers investigating the familial nature of
diseases. Further statistical methods of analysis will be
developed for this purpose, and well-documented, user-friendly
computer programs prepared that will be easily exported to other
human geneticists and epidemiologists. Theoretical developments
will include studies of validity, power and robustness of all
procedures developed. Methods of segregation and linkage
analysis will be generalized to allow for, eg., non-normality and
environmentally caused familial correlations. Consulting services
in the use of these methods will be provided, and the methods will
be applied in collaborative research in several broad areas,
including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, mental diseases,
neurological diseases and allergy/atropy. Human genetic analysts
will be trained at the pre- and post-doctoral levels, and short
courses given in the use of the methodology and computer
programs that will be developed.
